GARMENT SUIPIPOB-TER.

Application filed January 30, 1922. Serial No. 532,885.

To all whom it nag concern:

Be it known that I, MARVIN J. JACKSON, a

, citizen of the United States, residing at Youngstown, in the county ofMahoning and State of Ohio, have invented new and useful Improvements inGarment Supporters, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to garment supporters, and has particularapplication to'a garment supporter constructed to not only support thehose in a convenient manner, but to also prevent the overshirt fromworking upwardly and partially out of the trousers, especially when abelt is worn.

Another object of the invention resides in the provision of a garmentsupporter of the above mentioned character wherein the component partsare capable of adjustment, so that the device in its entirety may bequickly and conveniently adjusted to the comfort of the user.

The nature and advantages of the invention will be better understoodwhen the following detailed description is read in connection with theaccompanying drawings, the invention residing in the construction,combination, and arrangement of parts as claimed.

In the drawings forming part of this application, like numerals ofreference indicate similar parts in the several views, and whereinFigure 1 is an elevation of thedevice associated with the wearersgarments.

Figure 2' is a vertical sectional view taken on line 22 of Figure 1, andFigure 3 is a plan view of the invention.

Referring to the drawings in detail, 10 an 11 indicate spaced parallelstraps which may be elastic or inelastic without departing from thespirit of the invention. Thecorresponding upper extremities of thesestraps are associated with fasteners 12 of any suitable character bymeans of which the straps can be secured to the overshirt of the weareras illustrated in Figure 1. A buckle,20 is carried by the upper end ofthe strap 11 and slidably engaged with thisbuekle 20 is a V shaped strap18 whose branches carry fastenings 21 for engagement with the outershirt as shown in Figure 1. A short strap 13 provided with an adjustablebuckle 14 is also attached to the buckle 20 and is equipped with afastening 12 to engage the shirt as illustrated.

Suspended from the lower ends of the straps 10 and 11 respectively areslotted plates 24. j Each plate is provided with parallel horizontallyarranged slots 25 adjacen the upper and-lower ends thereof, the uppermost slot of each plate receiving the lower end of the adjacent strapabove referred to, while the lower slot receives the stocking engagingmember which is in the nature of an adjustable strap provided with theusual fastener such as shown in the drawing. Each plate .is -alsoprovided with spaced vertical slots 26 which of course are arranged atright, angles to the slots 25.- Passed' through the. corresponding slots26 of the respective buckles 24, is a band 27 which may be varied inlength,incidentto the adjustment of a buckle 28. Thisband is adapted toencircle the limb of the user. to hold the straps 10 and 11 in properposition with relation tosaid limb, the'extremities of the band 27having associated therewith cooperating fastening elements 29 and. 30respectively which may be of any suitable construction. The straps 10and 11 are provided with buckles 22 and 23 respectively whereby thelength of these straps may be regulated.

Manifestly, I have devised a construction of a garment supporter of theclass in question, which can be. conveniently and easily adjusted tovary its size as the occasion may require, so that the same may be wornin comfort by the user. The straps l0 and 11 not only support the hosein a proper manner, but by reason of the factthat they are connectedwith the overshirt, the latter is held down in the trousers in properposition, and thereby overcomes the trouble generally experiencedespecially when a belt is worn, of a shirt creeping upwardly to thediscomfort of the wearer. It will be also noted that the straps 10 andll are slidably adjustable upon a band 27. so that these straps can bemoved toward and away from each other, or in other words properly spacedapart for the comfort of the wearer.

While it is believed that from the foregoing description, the nature andadvantages of the invention will be readily apparent, I

(ill

wcarers leg, a buckle carried by the upper end of the strap, a V-shapedstrap slidably engaged with the buckle and provided with fasteningelements at its ends adapted to be engaged at the bifurcated part of ashirt, and a short strap connected With the buckle and having fasteningmeans adapted to be onnected with the shirt at the apex of thebifurcation.

In testimonv whereof I aflix my signature.

M. J. JACKSON.
